I was just talking to a former US Airways pilot tonight. He said the current proposal is to merge seniority lists 3 for 1. I didn't get a chance to ask him if that was 3 for 1 for USAirways or 3 for 1 for America West.
Anyone heard anything?

What's going on with all the non-aviation related threads? On this page alone there are threads about window blinds, religion and cars.
